Description



Book Synopsis



The heartwarming, brand-new novel from Sunday Times bestselling author Jill Mansell
'Adorable characters, wonderful setting, fabulous plot lines . . . Loved every page' Milly Johnson

'Sparkle and wit with a hint of wisdom makes for a very satisfying read . . . Jill Mansell is the new Jilly Cooper' Katie Fforde

'Full of friendship and love, and the most delicious happy ever after' Jo Thomas

Nick is the most intriguing man Nella has met in a while. He's a 9 in the looks department (no one gets a 10), he makes her laugh, and he keeps her company when she ends up in A&E. But they live hundreds of miles apart.

Then Nella loses her job. There's a perfect role on offer at a Cotswolds holiday retreat. The catch is that her boss would be Nick. And that makes Nick the one man she can't risk falling in love with.

While Nella struggles with her feelings, a Hollywood star has found a haven at the retreat. Lizzie's sworn off people - especially men - until her friendly new neighbours entice her out of her shell. Maybe she needs a flirtation - with gorgeous Nick, perhaps? Not with taciturn local Matthew, though, who definitely isn't a member of her fan club. Then an astonishing secret revealed changes everything . . .

The scene is set for a fabulous new novel full of friendship, warmth and romance.

'A delicious treat . . . uplifting, joyous' My Weekly
'Fabulously satisfying' Jo Thomas
'Uplifting, heartwarming and supremely feel-good' Sophie Kinsella
'The absolute definition of "reading for pleasure", it will bring hours of happiness' Veronica Henry
